Inheritance A descendant is an element that is enclosed (nested) in another, its ancestor. (If it is an immediate descendant, it is a child of the enclosing element, its parent. Elements having the same parent are siblings.) All descendants of an element inherit its style properties, unless these are overridden by their own style rules. 10
